Our Programs

TAP achieves its mission to realize the potential of young people in Austin through four branches of programming. They are:

1. Interactive Performance Residencies

These five-day residencies bring original theatrical pieces into the classroom, activating students in grades K-12 to discover and practice solutions to the problems they face every day.


2. Youth for Youth Theatre Companies

Through partnerships with both SafePlace, The Texas State History Museum, Hope Alliance, and Austin Voices for Youth and Education, TAP has developed four youth theatre companies. Teens create original interactive shows based on their own experiences. The companies then tour throughout the school year to educate their peers on topics like dating violence, immigration, healthy lifestyle choices and education.


3. TAP After School Classes

TAP's after school program brings together our commitment to using theatre as a tool to help youth A dynamic blend of creative arts and education. Whether they are exploring diversity through mask and puppet making, acting out folktales in World Theatre classes, writing original performances about their own lives, or creating parades to let other students in their own school know what matters to them, TAP students learn how to think creatively, work as a team and believe in themselves.


4. TAP in the Community

TAP's customized programs use theatre as a tool to strengthen community. Previous projects include interactive workshops on parent-child communication or girl-empowerment and special events like the Kite Festival and Austin's First Night Grand Procession.
